San Francisco hedge fund hiring a Bitcoin trader

A San Francisco hedge fund is seeking a new junior trader. Applicants need strong analytical skills, the freedom to work irregular hours, and familiarity with Excel.

Adam Besvinick, head of business development at Wanelo, tweeted the job posting, which will require the successful applicant to execute Bitcoin trades on exchanges and with private parties.
